How it is calculated
Value = unused leave hours × hourly rate

Frequently asked questions
Must every employer pay unused leave?
That cannot be generalized; check the law, contract and policy that apply to you.
Is the result a guaranteed take-home pay?
No. Taxes, insurance, allowances and deductions vary by employer and jurisdiction; use the calculator as a mathematical estimate only.
Should time periods be consistent?
Yes. When comparing pay, hours or deductions, keep the same period so weekly, monthly and annual figures are not mixed.
